About

The novelty of this study is to identify the mechanism of nervous system by applying resistance training intervention in healthy individuals.

Full description

Resistance training is a form of exercise that is popular particularly for its role in improving athletic performance by increasing muscular strength, power and speed, hypertrophy, local muscular endurance, motor performance, balance and coordination. The objective of the study is to find out the effects of resistance training on Central and Peripheral Nervous System in healthy individuals. A total of 100 participants will be included in the study including both male and female. The study will be divided into two main groups. Experimental group will perform 8-12 Reps with 1.5 sec concentric and 1.5 sec eccentric contraction of bench press with 90 sec of rest between sets with 2 sets per week for 2 months.

1RM of control group will be calculated through the same method and the training protocol for the Control group consisted of 5 attempts to lift as much weight as possible one time for that training visit with 90 seconds of rest between attempts. The load was progressively increased each attempt to try to reach or exceed their previous 1RM.

Enrollment: 100 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 35 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Masking: Double Blind

---

100 participants in 2 patient groups

Hyper Training Group

Experimental group

Description:

2 training session per week for 2 months, 1 set of 10 unloaded repetitions in arms as a warm-up, 4 sets with a goal of 8-12 repetitions with 90 seconds of rest between sets and elbows had to be fully locked out to be counted as a repetition, 1.5 seconds for concentric and 1.5 seconds for eccentric portion.

Treatment:

Other: Hyper Training

1 Repetition Maximum Group

Active Comparator group

Description:

2 training session per week for 2 months, 1 set of 10 unloaded repetitions in arms as a warm-up, training protocol consisted of 5 attempts to lift as much weight as possible one time for that training visit with 90 seconds of rest between attempts. The load was progressively increased each attempt to try to reach or exceed their previous 1RM.
